▼About YAMADA Hiroki

1967.6.28 Nagoya, Japan～

I've been hearing pop songs in and outside the country at random in elementary school, junior high, and high school. Especially, I was an ardent admirer of the Beatles. in junior high days. In these days, I have met various kinds of music and was interested in how to deal with instruments in musical works.

I lived in Nagoya till 1986. 

I came to my senses of classical music around university admission and was hearing especially Mahler's  6th symphony studying the score eagerly. The habits in which I hear the sounds while reading scores have made it useful to operate notation software.

I moved to Tokyo and graduated from the course of aesthetics and History of art, at University.

Besides working, have began composition activities in 2004. I composed the 1st symphony after the time of some studies. I have been continuing composition activities focusing on instrumental music until now.

 My composition method is, to input notes directly into notation software, to playback sound and listen to it, and, if it is necessary, to repeat trials and errors correcting the notes.
